Widely available polymer spud mud agent
Guar Gum is a rapidly mixing, high‐viscosity polymer for use in freshwater and seawater spud muds.
Applications
Guar Gum polymer is used principally as a viscous slugging fluid, pumped at connections to ensure all cuttings are removed from the annulus while drilling surface holes with water. It is particularly useful offshore, as it can be added directly to seawater. Direct mixing eliminates the need for large quantities of drill water as well as the time required to prehydrate bentonite.
Advantages
- Widely available and economical source of polymer viscosifier
- Concentrated chemical that is very effective at low treatment levels
- Can be used in most water types
